US officials criticise Georgian Dream, call for sanctions against Ivanishvili

Why did Georgia’s dictator-in-waiting Bidzina Ivanishvili give a contract to build the Anaklia Deep Sea Port to a sanctioned Chinese company? 🤔 🤔

For 4wks, the Georgian people have opposed their gov't’s lead down a dangerous path. #Georgia’s dream is to join the transatlantic community, the gov’t should honor that. I applaud the people’s perseverance & commitment to a brighter future – despite hardships they've endured.

I agree with @RepJoeWilson But it needs to be part of a strategy for the greater Black Sea region. Georgia is not an island. It is the portal between Europe and Eurasia. We need a strategy that achieves our aims for the region, that includes Ukraine, TUR, MVA, ROM and BGR. https://t.co/iVeB4efi2o
